Still don't follow.  If you don't get an account until he verifies that you're Canadian, how exactly do you circumvent this?

The before part is key.  Makes it quite easy to give it a try hey?  Seems to work fairly well from "Canada" where I am...

He said he verifies a person's nationality before they're allowed to participate.

Keep waiting...I will show up sooner or later. We are just 24 hrs after launch. I played a couple dozen hands with a guy called 'smokey' yesterday. I like the poker software, its wayyyy nicer than betco or whatever that site is called.


I want get in the $100 GTD tourney tomorrow.

I thought we already had a Bitcoin casino, and it was called MtGox?   

Seriously, though, if you can't figure out how to take/payout bets in Bitcoin with people in restricted countries, that's an instant phail.

Cough, cough.  Really, are you sure you're not from Canada

Because I live in the US. 

So....


Why is everyone still here and not on Sapphire?  I keep waiting for a table to play poker with and nobody is showing up!

Seriously, we should be driving everyone we know here.  It's an awesome site, and bitcoin needs a significant driver like this to drive up purchases of the coin for actual usage in the economy.

If you're into online gambling this is so much better than anything else out there.  (1) Its in a totally different league than the other bitcoin sites and (2) Its as good as the major players but... it has bitcoin which is going to be gambler catnip.

Yes, please add a first deposit bonus as incentive to inject larger amounts of bitcoins into the site.

If you did a 100% first deposit bonus with 30x playthru that would be awesome

I second this. Deposited 1 BTC, got USD in my account exchanged at current TH rates. Then played a bit, won some coins and withdraw BTC for 16 USD, again exchanged at TH rate which gave me 1.16026106 BTC in my wallet.

Nice site, good games, seems legit.

The user experience I had was top notch. Must be one of the best browser casinos made, even if it's still in alpha/beta.

I can recommend the service.

working good 

You're going to be rich.

sounds great I don't go by lemonginger on the CM forums (and haven't been there for awhile) but super happy that you are above board enough to WANT involvement from that community. That speaks volumes right there.

I assume you want to travel in the US again at some point, so your player restrictions are there, but no doubt once one of the casinos/sportsbooks (like Bodog) that have already given the DOJ a few big FUs decides to take on bitcoin, it will be huge for US players. From waiting upwards of 30+ days for cashouts back to instantaneous like the Neteller days? (Actually, a lot more instantaneous) Huge.

I'm honestly not sure what the big risk is in accepting bitcoins for a casino at this point. They are essentially counterfeit and fraud proof (in terms of chargebacks) and as long as casinos are managing currency risk by always using current conversion rates (and maybe hedging a little), I don't see what the hold-up is. The absolute worst that could happen is a flash crash that essentially values whatever their current holdings are in bitcoins, but that will only happen if the bitcoin market is tiny anyway (so they wouldn't have that much) and surely can't be more than some sites have been writing off in payment processor seizures/fees/headaches/etc

Anyway, enjoy your first mover advantage while you got it! I'd say that I look forward to advantage play on the first payout table you put out that is EV+, but I'm in the US I love seeing new and fun games that don't already have optimal strategies worked out.

Not yet, unfortunately ...

but the way things are going I think it's inevitable. My personal Bitcoin conversion has been a hard road to travel...we could have launched this thing a month ago, but held off... and I gotta say I'm glad we didn't do it right before the mtgox collapse. We're throwing our full support behind Tradehill, and have spoken with them about making sure we don't have any tie-ups in the process, which made us a lot more comfortable about starting things up this way -- the TH guys are very sharp and responsive and understand what it requires to run something like this on our end.

Bottom line, myself and more than a few of the people I talk with have come around to believing that Bitcoin will ultimately be as mainstream and as impossible to control as torrents, and we happen to be in a position to be the first ones to get behind it and grow with it. So it's a combination of having a good product and seizing an opportunity when you see one. Or being in the right place at the right time. And the CM crowd will see it too, I think, once we start making some waves

Yeah, I felt a little odd about that myself. But just because I worked on the death star doesn't mean I support the empire...

Are the Casino Meister forum members generally aware of bitcoin? If they don't know how easy life could be with bitcoins & online casinos, then an opportunity is being missed.

I found this funny.
